How to fix?

Upgrade goauthentik.io/authentik/core/api to version 2024.4.3, 2024.2.4, 2024.6.0 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Access Control through the API-Access-Token mechanism. An attacker can gain full admin access, including resetting user passwords and more, by exploiting this mechanism.

Workaround

As a workaround it is possible to block any requests to /api/v3/core/tokens* at the reverse-proxy/load-balancer level. Doing so prevents this issue from being exploted.
